Simon Says Stamp March 2020 Card Kit Unboxing!
So I'm back with 2 cards using the kit. I had several ideas and wanted to use allllll the stamps in the set - but to start off with I kept things more simple (SO hard for me to do) and made these 2 cards with the kit:
I really loved the long stem and leaves stamp in the Stronger Together stamp set - so I stamped it onto Ranger watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Morning Mist ink. I then used the watercolor pencils that came in the kit to watercolor the leaves and stems.
**side note: I talk about not adding sparkle to these cards in the video. Funny thing is is that I just noticed as I'm typing up the post and have my overhead lights on - there IS some sparkle to these LOL! After making THIS card the other day there was obviously still some sparkle in my water brush. So when I painted these leaves the sparkle transferred and I didn't notice at all. It's SUPER subtle but I'm kind of glad it's there. 😉
I added some Studio Katia Seafoam pearls to the stems (for the "non-bling bling" lols), and die cut the Bold Hello that comes in the March kit from Slate card stock.
I finished off the insides of the cards by stamping the stem image with Simon's Mint ink, and then stamped another sentiment from the Stronger Together stamp set with the Morning Mist ink. I pulled out a couple of Slate envelopes from my stash and stamped the stem onto them with the Morning Mist ink and that was it!
